So a group of 8 of us are heading to Negril Jamaica in January. Fist time any of us have been there, all of us travel together once a year and have been all over Mexico and the Dominican. Just looking for some pointers and recommendations on what to check out and what to stay away from. Looks like Rick's Cafe and a booze cruise is a must. Thanks in advance

No different than Mexico.

Last time I was in Mexico, we were walking through a bunch of street vendors and one guy invited us into his head shop. I told him no thanks. After he persisted, I told him we didn't even have anything to smoke. Guys says to wait a minute and comes back with a baggie. I took a look at it. He's talking about how good the product is. I looked, smelled and almost told him it smelled like crappy Mexican to me. Realized where I was and politely declined instead.

been to Jamaica 5x...you will land in Montego Bay..1-1/2hours to Negril..Jamaicans drive fkn crazy, will be an interesting bus ride,trust me.

On a 7-day trip,alternate between resort & excursions..get out and see the Island..its not bad..lots of poverty.Leave the resort with a tour guide/bus which your Hotel will help you with.

weed is not a problem,as stated.Food will be good..Red Stripe will be your beer along with Appleton Rum.

go to Trip Advisor & type in your resort for some advice.

Sandals/Breezes/RIU/Apple vaca?..you will be ok..have fun---yeah mon
